This $1,220,400 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences supports a collaborative research project between investigators in the U.S. and U.K. to better understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian gene expression. The project, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to define the roles of different DNA regulatory elements and how they work together to precisely control gene...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $497,039 to Valdosta State University to investigate the biochemical mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species activate the GCN2 protein kinase and its role in regulating protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant system. The research aims to enhance understanding of plant stress responses and translational control mechanisms, which could contribute to developing...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project at Western University of Health Sciences to study variability in the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how plants respond to environmental and developmental cues through the process of alternative polyadenylation, which impacts plant growth, development, and stress responses. The 3-year...
Through a $501,868 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences program (CFDA 47.074), Georgia College & State University will investigate the structural regulation of cap-independent translation in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). The project aims to bridge critical gaps in understanding how mRNA molecules operate differently under cellular stress conditions compared to normal conditions. Undergraduate researchers at Georgia...
This $796,823 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to better understand the mechanism behind the meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD) pathway in the model fungus Neurospora crassa. The goal is to shed light on how DNA pairing affects gene regulation across various organisms, including worms, mice, and humans. The investigators will recruit and train undergraduates, develop lesson modules for lab tours...
This $136,600 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting research at William Marsh Rice University to develop and apply advanced tools for visualizing, quantifying, and correlating DNA dynamics, organization, and gene activity in real-time. The research aims to yield critical new insights into how genomic structure, organization, and epigenetics regulate gene transcription and expression, potentially revealing...
This $776,309 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences project grant, awarded on February 15, 2025, supports research by the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the structural responses of intrinsically disordered proteins to post-translational modifications that regulate gene expression and transcriptional pausing.
The project will leverage advanced NMR spectroscopy techniques to characterize how phosphorylation and methylation of RNA polymerase II and its...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation for the "TOOLS4CELLS: EAGER: A MOLECULAR PURSUIT FOR THE ENGRAM: MICROFLUIDIC TEMPORAL TRANSCRIPTOMICS FOR SINGLE CELL LEARNING" project. This 2-year effort aims to develop innovative microfluidic tools and workflows to investigate the role of non-coding RNA in learning and memory storage in single-celled organisms. Key...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, under the Biological Sciences CFDA program (47.074), will investigate a novel regulatory mechanism called "RNA buffering" that maintains messenger RNA (mRNA) levels despite changes in synthesis and decay rates. The $749,978 project at the University of Utah will explore the protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions involved in this process, which challenges...
This $171,061 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) on February 15, 2025, will support research to uncover the interactions between small RNA and chromatin modifying pathways that regulate gene expression and maintain transcriptome homeostasis.
The overarching goal is to leverage the C. elegans germline as a model system to understand how feedback motifs between RNA interference (RNAi) and...
